THE n. o., N. F. $. RAILROAD.

The news published in our sunday
morning edition relative to the sale OF
the Kansa. Nebraska & Dakota Rail-
road to the Missouri Pacific, had the
effect of depressing the fellings OF some
of our citizens in regard to the building
of the N. O., N. & +. s. Road, although
the statement of Col. l.. l.. Bush was
published at the same time stating that
stthe sale of the X, N. q u. load
would not interfere in the least with the
hnildinp of the NO. N. & F. s. Railroad
INT on the other hand. would aid 1t,
and that it relieved him and others OF
a great deal of labor, and they would
now have time to give the N. o., N. q
r. s the attention it demands"
Tn order to relieve any anxiety on
the mart of any one in this city, Capt.
las. w. Lambert sent the following
dispatch to Con. John III. Rice:
